The Rest of Red River

You didn't think I forgot did you? Well, you probably were wondering!!! I have been so busy since we got home. If you follow me on Facebook, you know it has been a crazy weekend.

So I didn't forget and hopefully this is just the beginning of more regular blogging!

On Tuesday of our fabulous vacation we headed down to the community center to build, paint, and race boats! It was one of the best experiences ever. The down side was that Daddy wasn't there, but Pops did all the work and built some awesome boats!

Our instructions were to get a few pieces of wood, some nails, and a hammer and get to work. Well we were a little late to get a hammer, so Pops improvised!
Carter got a little bored while waiting for his boat to be built!
Here is Caden with his finished boat.

Pops and Carter with his painted boat. It was a huge ordeal for this boy to put DOWN his paintbrush. It didn't really dry before getting put in the water!
Caden with his painted boat. He named it "saily", while Carter named his "ga-ga"
They lined up the boats in groups of 8-10 and dumped them off the board into the stream and let the current carry them away. Our boys' boats are on the far right.
Caden received 2nd place in his heat and Carter won 4th! Way to go boys!
